there were plenty of anti-slavery views in ancient Greece and Rome! they weren't a *majority* but they existed.
Er, I'm not sure I'd agree with that exactly about Greece/Rome. There were some critics of the treatment of slaves, and you do get in Late Antique literature the tentative beginnings of abolitionist thinking. But that's all I've seen, though I may well have missed something.
yeah more correctly I should have said 'the ancient Roman world' because a lot of them are Hebrew.
Also, seemingly, the Achamenids, though they didn't always prevent their subjects from having chattel slavery, they seem to have thought poorly of it themselves.
Yeah. Cicero's Natural Law discussion drives me bonkers on this point - he walks right up to the door of universal human rights and then just...doesn't walk through it. Lays all the foundation and then just...stops. So frustrating.
Even enslaved persons who obtained freedom don't seem to have had abolition in mind always. The Discourses (written by Arrian, but ostensibly the thought of the once-enslaved Epictetus), with a section on slavery and freedom in book 4, pretty clearly has no interest in abolition.
Diodorus (via Photius) relates that the previously-enslaved-rebels on Sicily put others into bondage almost immediately to make weapons and enslaved war captives just as any other ancient army. Now that's tricky evidence, of course, since that could just be Diodorus' slander...
